[TowerTalk] Guy Posts

[Kurt Cathcart, KR2C]

Hello all


I'm planning an installation of a guyed 50' aluminum crank up tower.  As 
per the manufactured, they guy anchor point would be 40' from the  
tower.  As per the wife, this would be too intrusive into the yard.


My thought would to be using guy posts to anchor the guys to. The idea 
would be create a foundation with a heavy pipe in the ground that would 
move the anchor points closer to the tower. Would any of you have 
experience with this? If so, what do I need to know going in?  Bad idea?
